Abstract
The work tray assembly includes a rectangular PVC board from which a first pair of slots, for the insertion of a splice platform, has been perforated. A second pair of slots, orthogonal to the first, is adapted to accommodate an elongated splice housing. A plurality of arcuately-shaped, flexible plastic clips are mounted in the board for the retention of cladded glass fibers. The board also supports at least one pipelike ring for grasping a vial containing chemicals required to strip and clean the cladded glass fibers. A pair of cable clamps positioned on opposite sides of the board at the extremities of a virtual center line drawn through the first pair of slots positions and supports fiber optic cables brought onto the work tray assembly and across the platform in anticipation of a stripping, cleaning and splicing procedure.
